Firstly I think it is important to understand the word church. Here at Grace Family we don’t relate church with a religious denomination or organization, here church is not a solemn gathering of all the perfect people in town. Church is not a place we go too because that is what we have habitually been doing all our lives. We don’t get together to impress people or even God.

We gather together because we all have a common motivation and that is we love God and we love each other, we are family and when we get together we create church. Grace Family is a place where people from all walks of life can gather in a non-judgment zone. We get together to encourage and motivate each other, when we get together we open our hearts for the good news of Jesus to flood our minds and souls. Here are some practical reasons why we get together.
